Canadian Blood Services is encouraging you to make a New Year’s resolution that gives back to your community. Donate blood, and help save lives.  If you have received a seasonal flu shot, you can donate blood two days afterwards. Call 1 888 2 DONATE (1 888 236-6283) to book an appointment and help meet the continuing need for blood. If you already have an appointment, thank you, and we urge you to honour it.  Upcoming Clinics are being held at: St Paul the Apostle Church (Alliston) on January 20^th from 2:30 – 7:30pm and Nottawasaga Inn on January 28^th from 4:30 – 7:30pm.
